I recently got a huge compliment from a client (and close friend). He told me that I was a great salesman. I was able to sell his father a house with a squirrel living in it! He was being a little sarcastic. Here is the story. I recently was the buyers agent for my friends father. I found him a great house that backed up to the woods, had a wooded lot and a beautiful fireplace. We got him under contract and were heading to closing. The morning of the home inspection, myself, the buyer and home inspector were all going to meet at the house at 9am. I was almost to the house about fifteen minutes early when I got a call from the buyer. The buyer said to me Aaron I see a squirrel through the window. I said well sir there are lots of trees and the house backs up to the lot, so you are going to see lots of squirrels. I had forgotten that he couldn't be in the house, without me letting him in. His response was" Aaron I see a squirrel through the window and I am outside, the squirrel is on the inside. We went into the house and opened all the exterior doors, walked around and we never found the squirrel, he must have ran out the door. The inspector said that the screen's around the chimney top was missing and the squirrel must have fallen in and not been able to climb out. It made for a great story, and a hilarious home inspection! Thanks Aaron

Excellent story!
HI Aaron, nice story.
Aaron,
Squirrels are not a problem where I live. I would rather have a squirrel than other critters.
Rats with bushy tails. We're overrun with them. But thank goodness I haven't seen one inside yet!
